Anyone else find it ridiculous that the Prize Puzzle was more than DOUBLE the Prize wedge? They need better trip booking. I've gone through random S24-25 recaps and they've had trips to places like Amsterdam and Australia in the $4,000-$6,000 range as the Prize Puzzle trips. What happened? Why are they always being minimal with the Prize Wedges now, yet PP trips under $6,000 are becoming extremely rare?

Great show, all of them won more than $10,000 and that's difficult. But the worst part of it was the $10K+ Prize Puzzle. Shawn was lucky of winning a lot of cash in R1, because if he hasn't won it, Rick would have won the game with only solving R3...

Shawn was the first alumni of My wife and I's Game Show Training Camp. LOL He went a little rogue with the WC but he did great and we were happy for him. Shawn is married to my friend and old roommate Coleen and I was actually the Witness at their wedding back 14 years ago.
